Saudi does not allow christians to work there. You have to fill in a form stating your religion in the application. Only western atheists get visas. |
Even if this is true (and I'm not certain it is; I know non-Muslims can't enter certain cities, and that Christians aren't allowed to openly worship, but I think they can work in compounds), I wouldn't be particularly surprised if Koveras were to convert to Islam. A lot of the ideas he professes admiration for are at work in the Muslim world. He'd probably fit in pretty well. |
In the post before that one I mentioned the possibility of converting. It isn't just a matter of admiring ideas. I'm unhappy here. |

Convert? Come on. You're just gonna give up?
Our post-modern degenerate society will end. This can't continue. It will likely happen a hell of a lot sooner than even the most pessimistic (optimistic?) believe. Everything is failing now. The economy, the politics, the family. We're near a collapse. Rebirth follows a collapse.Germany Dissolves Itself sold a million copies! Putin stripped the oligarchs of their media! Go to Europe. Eastern Europe. Maybe Hungary or the Ukraine.
Speaking of Ukraine. I saw this last night. Made me laugh.

Jewish group objects to �Great Famine� case
June 15, 2009
KIEV, Ukraine (JTA) -- A Jewish group in Ukraine is objecting to a criminal case brought over the "Great Famine" committed in the 1930s.
The nation's security service is pressing the case against a list of former Soviet officials accused of committing the Holodomor, which caused the deaths of millions in Ukraine in 1932-33. Most of the names on the list were Jewish.
Ukrainian lawmaker Aleksandr Feldman, leader of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, said last week that it was "a farce" to press the case.
�All organizers of the Great Famine are dead," he said. |
Very amusing. |

| What you've said is worth thinking about, however I'm not sure how well you understand me. Lately it has felt more pressing to be among people who share my all-encompassing religious convictions. I'm not interested in a bourgeois society, no matter how white and European it is. Although we've a lot of common ground, maybe here we differ. |

Old.
If this is turned into a race war (how pink is your skin ?!) then you'll lose for certain. There are 'whites' who would never consider themselves such. There are 'arabs' who cannot stand the name. There are 'blacks' who have different concepts of what 'black' is.
New.
People without race or religion or nationalistic feelings. A new philosophy without labels...and fear. |
